DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0037] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
[0038] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0039] In the description of the present invention, the terms first, second, third, etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are as follows: [0041] Embodiment 1: As shown in
[0042] Since the motion assembly is integrally rotatably arranged on the main shaft 1, and the first moving member 3 and the second moving member 4 are both matched with the track seat 2 to rotate synchronously relative to the main shaft 1, when any one of the first moving member 3 or the second moving member 4, in addition to sliding, also rotates relative to the main shaft 1, it will drive the track seat 2 to rotate synchronously, and at the same time drive the other of the first moving member 3 or the second moving member 4 to rotate synchronously. The entire motion assembly is interlocked and rotates together relative to the main shaft 1 to achieve adaptive swing, thereby preventing motion interference and jamming.
[0043] As shown in
[0044] As shown in
[0045] The locking of the friction plate in the prior art is replaced by the locking of the mechanism, thereby solving the problems of failure and noise caused by wear. In addition, the operation is easier, the structure is simple, and the cost is maintained at a low level.
[0046] Specifically, as shown in
[0047] When the two track portions 20 are assembled, the two clamping parts 202 are pressed against each other; the clamping parts 202 are recessed toward the opposite surfaces to form a first groove 203, and the first groove 203 extends along the front and rear directions. After the two track portions 20 are assembled, the two first grooves 203 together form the first sliding track 5; therefore, the track seat 2 is grooved or slotted through the front and rear to form the first sliding track 5.
[0048] As shown in
[0049] Further, as shown in
[0050] Similarly, the sliding part 42 in the second moving member 4 fits with the second sliding track 6. When the track seat 2 rotates, it will drive the second moving member 4 to rotate around the main shaft 1; the main shaft 1 is arranged along the left and right directions, the second sliding track 6 is arranged along the left and right directions, the second moving member 4 is sleeved on the main shaft 1, the track seat 2 is sleeved on the second moving member 4 and the second moving member 4 is slidably arranged in the second sliding track 6; therefore, there is a rotation limit between the second moving member 4 and the track seat 2. When the first moving member 3 moves, it drives the track seat 2 to rotate, and the second moving member 4 also rotates with the track seat 2. The first moving member 3, the second moving member 4 and the track seat 2 all rotate synchronously with the main shaft 1.
[0051] To sum up, the first moving member 3 mainly moves in the front-to-back direction, but when the chair back is tilted and the chair back connecting member 8 rotates, the first moving member 3 will also produce a certain amount of rotation. When the first moving member 3 rotates, it will drive the track seat 2 to rotate, and the track seat 2 will drive the second moving member 4 to rotate on the main shaft 1; since the second moving member 4 is rotatably arranged on the main shaft 1, the second moving member 4 rotates synchronously with the track seat 2, and the track seat 2 rotates synchronously with the first moving member 3, so the rotation of the first moving member 3 is also around the main shaft 1, so there is only one rotation point of the motion assembly, which is the main shaft 1, and the motion assembly as a whole can rotate around the main shaft 1, so that when the chair back is tilted and adjusted, the motion assembly can adaptively tilt and rotate, so that the tilting movement of the chair back and the movement of the locking mechanism will not interfere, and the locking of the chair back after tilting can be smoothly achieved.
[0052] Furthermore, in terms of direction, the axial direction of the main shaft 1 coincides with the locking direction, and the second moving member 4 is sleeved on the main shaft 1 and slides with the main shaft 1 in the second sliding track 6; the second moving member 4 moves in the locking direction, and since the second moving member 4 is slidably arranged on the main shaft 1, after the first moving member 3 moves, the second moving member 4 moves along the axial direction of the main shaft 1 and connects with the first moving member 3 to achieve the tilt locking of the chair back and keep it in the current position. Therefore, the locking direction is the left-right direction, while the adjustment direction is roughly the front-back direction, and in the adjustment state, when the chair back rotates, the adjustment direction tilts with the swing of the motion assembly; when the chair back rotates and drives the first moving member 3 to move, the first moving member 3 will rotate due to the rotation of the chair back in addition to displacement, and when the first moving member 3 rotates, it will drive the entire motion assembly to rotate on the main shaft 1. The mechanism has a strong adaptive ability, so that the tilt locking after the chair back rotates can be smoothly achieved; the tilt of the adjustment direction is also a manifestation of adaptive ability.
[0053] The combination and locking of the first moving member 3 and the second moving member 4 are as follows:
[0054] As shown in
[0055] The force on the chair back is transmitted to the first moving member 3 through the chair back connecting member 8 and the connecting pin 9. The first moving member 3 further transmits the force to the locking part 41 through the meshing of the inner tooth part 14 and the outer tooth part 15. The locking part 41 is directly arranged on the main shaft 1, so it transmits the force to the main shaft 1. The main shaft I finally transmits the force to the base 7. In order to ensure the strength and sufficient load-bearing capacity, the base 7, the main shaft 1, the locking part 41 and the first moving member 3 are all metal parts with higher strength.
[0056] The density of the inner tooth portion 14 is greater than 55/100 mm. Fine and dense teeth realize stepless adjustment. The inner tooth portion 14 is provided on the upper and lower groove walls of the accommodating groove 13, and correspondingly, the upper and lower surfaces of the locking part 41 are also provided with outer tooth portions 15. In this embodiment, the inner tooth portion 14 is 74 mm long and has 42 teeth. [0057] Embodiment 2: The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the locking part 41 and the sliding part 42 of the second moving member 4 are both metal members. The details are as follows:
[0058] The second moving member 4 is a metal part, and the second moving member 4 comprises a locking part 41 and a sliding part 42. The sliding part 42 is arranged in the second sliding track 6 and fits with the second sliding track 6. The locking part 41 is used to lock with the first moving member 3 when it is close to the first moving member 3; the locking part 41 and the sliding part 42 are integrally formed; the second moving member 4 is a force-bearing part, and is made of metal to increase strength; the locking part 41 and the sliding part 42 can be integrally formed, which is more convenient to manufacture.
[0059] The chassis also comprises an operating rod 16, which is inserted on the base 7 along the left-right direction, and a transmission member is provided between the operating rod 16 and the second moving member 4. The operating rod 16 is configured to pull the operating rod 16 to drive the transmission member to move, and the transmission member drives the second moving member 4 to slide in the second sliding track 6, and switches the chair back reclining locking mechanism between the adjustment state and the locking state; the transmission member is a torsion spring 17, which is rotatably arranged on the base 7, and the two ends of the torsion spring 17 are respectively connected to the operating rod 16 and the second moving member 4; an avoidance groove 18 extending along the locking direction is provided on the track seat 2 outside the second moving member 4, and a slot 19 is provided on the second moving member 4, and a spring arm at one end of the torsion spring 17 is inserted in the slot 19 through the avoidance groove 18; the avoidance groove 18 is configured so that when the operating rod 16 is pulled, the torsion spring drives the second moving member 4 to move in the second sliding track 6, and the avoidance groove 18 avoids the movement of the spring arm.
[0060] The locking and unlocking switching in the locking mechanism can be achieved by pulling the operating rod 16 left and right. Not only is the operation easy and simple, but the user can also reach it with just a hand, which is more convenient. The transmission member is preferably a torsion spring 17, which is not only low in cost, but also has a simpler structure for the mounting seat of the torsion spring 17 in the chassis. The torsion spring 17 as a transmission member also has a buffering effect during locking: when the first moving member 3 and the second moving member 4 are locked, the inner tooth portion 14 and the outer tooth portion 15 are not fully aligned and engaged, but not only can the pulling operation still be performed, but the pulling operation will not be more laborious, and after the chair back is slightly tilted, the second moving member 4 can be automatically locked into the first moving member 3, that is, the inner tooth portion 14 and the outer tooth portion 15 can be delayed in engagement without affecting the operation. [0061] Embodiment 3: The chair back reclining locking mechanism is applied to another chassis, specifically:
[0062] As shown in
[0063] The chair back reclining locking mechanism is vertically arranged in the chassis, and the first moving member 3 is vertical and inclined in the front-to-back direction; when the chair back connecting member 8 rotates backward, the first moving member 3 drives the track seat 2 to swing and slide downward in the track seat 2. Specifically, the base 7 comprises a downwardly convex extension seat 24, the main shaft 1 is arranged on the extension seat 24, and the track seat 2 is arranged in the extension seat 24. The extension seat 24 comprises at least two plates, and the two plates are arranged at intervals along the left and right to install the main shaft 1 and accommodate the track seat 2; the extension seat 24 can be integrally formed with the base 7, or can be fixedly connected to the base 7 by welding; the extension seat 24 is used to increase the volume of the base 7 in the up-and-down direction, so that the vertically arranged locking mechanism can be smoothly installed on the base 7; in this chair back linkage chassis, the volume of the base 7, that is, the internal space of the chassis is small, and the thickness of the base 7 is also small, which makes it difficult to accommodate the above-mentioned locking mechanism. Therefore, for this chassis that is not easy to accommodate, the locking mechanism originally arranged in the front-to-back direction can be changed to be arranged in the up-and-down direction, which can also achieve the reclining locking of the chair back.
[0064] In this embodiment, although the orientation of the chair back reclining locking mechanism is changed, the control of the second moving member 4 by the operating rod 16 through the torsion spring 17 can still be achieved as long as the bending of the torsion spring 17 is adaptively changed.
